ABSTRACT:
A locking differential including a pair of clutch members, a pair of associated annular side gears, a drive rod extending between the clutch members, and a pair of spacers arranged between the side gears and drive rod is characterized by a locking pin, disc, E-clip, spring assembly which urges the clutch members outwardly apart toward engaged positions with the side gears. The face of each clutch member contains at least one pin bore for receiving a locking pin and at least one oversized spring bore for receiving a spring. The outer periphery of each clutch member contains a pin access opening communicating with each pin bore. During assembly, a tool can be inserted into the pin access opening to displace the locking pin contained therein, whereby the E-clip may he installed on a locking pin circumferential groove and the associated spring is maintained in compression, thereby to urge the clutch members axially outwardly apart.
